Just Have A Good Cry (Reprint) »

By Steve_in_KC on Aug 30, 2009 in Current Affairs, Humor | 23 Comments

[First published at No Quarter USA on February 22, 2009. See the original and its comments HERE ]
I wrote this piece in a moment of prescience about six months ago, only a month after the Coronation Inauguration of our current White House Resident. Even then, while most of America still found him enchanting, which [...]

No Longer Passively Accepting »

I love George Carlin. He is a hero from my youth. Revered from the first time I heard “The Seven Words”. And I still mourn his passing in 2008. So I was a bit surprised by my reaction to viewing Carlin’s excellent riff on “Who Really Controls America.”
Oh, I [...]

Dems Are Moms, Reps Are Dads »

By Steve_in_KC on Jun 28, 2009 in Current Affairs, Humor | 36 Comments

I’ve thought for a long time that Democrats seem comfortable in the role of mothers, while Republicans like to think they are the father figures of America. I’m not talking about the kind of father who is a deadbeat alcoholic who cheats on his wife while she’s at work… well, maybe that’s not such a [...]

It’s Yellow and Round - *Open Thread* »

And it will make you smile.
Okay it doesn’t hurt that it’s paired with a catchy tune.
Still, I’ll bet you can’t play this only once.

But Keepon, the little yellow spongiform “peeps” looking robot, has developed a more serious side - dealing with autism.

“BAIL EM OUT! ????
“Hellooooo,
back in 1990, the Government
seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada
for tax evasion and,
as required by law, tried to run it.
They failed and it closed.
Now we are trusting the economy of our country
and our banking system
to the same nit-wits
who couldn’t make money
running a whore house and selling whiskey!” [...]

Enjoying Will Rogers »

By Linda Anselmi on Feb 15, 2009 in Humor | 32 Comments

(bumped up by Susan from earlier today . this delightful story brings to life one of the nation’s most influential and important figures during the Great Depression — we could use another Will Rogers these days!)
I have always been a huge Will Rogers fan. So when I spotted The Wit and Wisdom of Will [...]

Fitzgerald - Poet of the Jazz Age - a litmus test »

By Old Grumpy Guy on Feb 8, 2009 in Humor, OldGrumpyGuy, Political Correctness | 49 Comments

Just as the world can be divided into those who prefer Mozart to Bach and those who don’t, so the world can be divided into those who prefer F. Scott Fitzgerald over Ernest Hemingway and those who don’t.
In my series on the great composers, I found that some of those who [...]

Pelosi stretches the truth »

By Old Grumpy Guy on Feb 5, 2009 in Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Democracy, Depression, Economic Stimulus, Economy, Humor, Nancy Pelosi | 47 Comments

Did you see what Nancy Pelosi had to say about the dire job situation in America? In case you didn’t catch it, she said that 500 million Americans lose their jobs every month that the economic downturn lasts.
That means the country has lost at least 2 billion jobs since the recession began. Even allowing [...]

The Cultural Revolution Starts Here! »

In my new video I look at the way the Emperor’s Clothing Syndrome has dominated the arts and humanities over the past half century, with the help of academic practitioners looking for theories to build on, trying to carve out some academic territory for themselves and becoming the high priests or priestesses of their [...]

Is that a BlackBerry in your pocket? Or are you just glad to see me? »

By Steve_in_KC on Jan 24, 2009 in Current Affairs, Humor | 43 Comments

It looks like P*BO has won the Battle of the BlackBerry, but not necessarily a BlackBerry. It’s the NSA’s version, The Sectera Edge. I saw a comment by a reader of this article that called it a “Black Ops Berry,” which I thought was clever enough to steal, but I knew I’d get busted.

Composers who didn’t make the top 10 list and why (can you handle the truth?) »

By Old Grumpy Guy on Jan 22, 2009 in Humor, OldGrumpyGuy, Open Thread | 2 Comments

In my last video - the penultimate in the composer series - I look at some of the other composers who were considered for the list of the top ten composers who ever lived, but who didn’t make it - and why.

I Want A Mulligan! »

For those of you who don’t know this golf term, it’s a do-over.  It’s allowed between friends when something ruins what should have been a decent shot.  Like maybe a loud noise during your back-swing.  So the distraction or other accidental occurrence causes you to blow the shot.  You ask for a Mulligan, and your [...]

As many people guessed, the composer at number 2 in the list of the greatest composers of all time is Ludwig von Beethoven.
